The competition has now closed. I have decided that the judges decisions should be posted on here for complete openness so can each of the Moderators put the various qualifying entries in order from 1 to 8 with their reasoning. They will then be scored from 24 points for 1st place to 3 points for 8 and the total scores for all moderators added up to provide the winner. DPP: I would like to watch Newcastle spend 90mins defending desperately at Old Trafford because it is the only game of the season Mourinho will allow his players to attack. I amGroot's Friend: I would like to watch Newcastle spend 90mins defending desperately at Old Trafford because Jakarta Toon is the wittiest, most handsome and sexiest (in a manly way) poster in the whole of the World. Robellious: I would like to watch Newcastle spend 90mins defending desperately at Old Trafford because it will probably the last chance to do so in my lifetime JPF: I would like to watch Newcastle spend 90mins defending desperately at Old Trafford because my brother is a Man Utd fan and I forgot his birthday GeordieGinola: I would like to watch Newcastle spend 90mins defending desperately at Old Trafford because I want to touch Fellaini's hair and rub my face on it like a soft pillow. Jonjo'sExWife: I would like to watch Newcastle spend 90mins defending desperately at Old Trafford because it will be my one and only chance to ever see them play....unless I go out and marry an old billionaire Ben10: I would like to watch Newcastle spend 90mins defending desperately at Old Trafford because watching us try and attack is too painful GeneralLee: I would like to watch Newcastle spend 90mins defending desperately at Old Trafford because My wife nags the **** our of me and I need to get away from her for my own mental health’s sake. Disqualified for exceeding the 20 word limit, being a Moderator and only thinking its your round. Albert'sChipShop: I would like to watch Newcastle spend 90mins defending desperately at Old Trafford because I will have had at least 15 cans in me so quite frankly won’t even realise I’m at the match. Plus I havent seen Jak for a while and think it’s my round. Or maybe I’m round.
My votes: 1. Ben10: Thought this was the entry that made best use of the starting phrase and also appreciated the effort Ben put in writing a post of more than 3 words. 2. Jonjo’sExWife: Liked this one but was worried that if we lose I would have consigned JEW to the misery of seeing us lose in the only match they ever watch. Have decided to buy JEW two tickets to watch us play Gateshead at home in a friendly next season. 3. GeneralLee: I know the feeling. Albert told me that she can get a bit tedious at times. However thought it better that you stay at home so you can catch him one of these weekends. 4. JPF: Thought this was good then realised it was JPF so probably not true and marked it down. Also thought it might be a sly dig at me although I can state categorically that I don’t think I am JPF’s brother. 5. GeordiGinola: Slightly Creepy and also doubt it will be that soft. 6. Robellious: I reckon they will be relegated with us so could be moot 7. DPP: I doubt Mourinho will be in charge by the end of this week so this may well also be moot 8. I am Groot's Friend: Sycophantic and obviously doesn't exist. If he had used the word colleague/acquaintance maybe.
Right after much deliberation behind closed doors (or PMs) our other two semi-active moderators have finally provided their picks and decided that Ben10 is the winner. As he also has the backing of the original winner (Musty Frog) then its fairly unanimous. Ben10 will be PMg you shortly to find out where to send tickets.
I'm broken hearted.... I wanted to string a 30ft banner of underwear forming a 'I Love you Jonjo' sign for shelves....

Nooooooo how did I miss this ...the possibility of being publicly and ritually humiliated by the ONLY united, having to skulk in and out of the THEATRE OF DREAMS ...separate, alone, having never tasted the sweet, sweet taste of premiership / league supremacy (not in my lifetime and I am ...oooold). Surrounded by the true steadfast footballing yeomanry of ManU ..standing shoulder to shoulder with their local team through thick and thin as they head back to surrey (or indonesia in Jaks case) The fevered, hushed, overheard conversations of the ManU faithful contemplating shifting allegiance to Man City as they..well ...win more I for one appreciate ben 10 willingness to take on such a role on behalf of ALL our sins (even if Musty dodged a bullet by pretending to be in Australia ..when we all know he actually lives in sunderland and has experience of the complete abject shame involved) Ben10 coming out the theatre of dreams: please log in to view this image
Ben10 chickened out. It will be next door neighbour using them again. The way Man Utd are playing he has said if we keep making him go he wont accept any more of my Mrs Amazon and E-bay packages.
GG - not sure how I can get tickets to you. They are in manchester and I wont be there until tonight. I am in mcr until 11am tomorrow so could meet you before then to give you them or alternatively leave them in one of our bins and give you my address by PM. Let me know if you can do that. I live about 15mins drive from Old Trafford.
